About Diane
Diane J Gores is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, grief, trauma, addictions, and related issues. Sessions are presented in plain language and focus on practical steps forward.
Diane uses brief solution-focused work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. She helps people identify small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Conversations tend to focus on current problems and on building tools to cope and move ahead.
Her style is straightforward. She often breaks larger problems into manageable tasks. Clients can expect focused conversations about what is happening now and clear ideas for next steps. Diane encourages follow-through between sessions so progress is more likely.
She also draws on client-centered principles, listening to what matters most to each person. That means the plan evolves from the client’s own goals rather than a fixed script. Diane notes that online work still requires effort and commitment to see results.
Diane earned a master's degree in mental health counseling from Capella University and holds an LPC credential in Georgia. She works in English and accepts international clients when arrangements fit. The approach is practical and paced to fit a busy home life.
How sessions work
How Diane’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. The therapist reflects what matters most to the person and uses that information to shape each session. This helps keep conversations grounded in real household and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practical terms that means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and next steps. It favors short, actionable plans that can be tried between sessions to see what helps.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can change as issues evolve and as the client notices what works best.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or brief check-ins, and certain formats may suit lower-bandwidth or camera-free conversations. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep sessions practical and compatible with everyday routines.
